This module implements some useful functions on \POSIX{} pathnames.
\strong{Do not import this module directly.} Instead, import the
-module \module{os} and use \code{os.path}.
-\refstmodindex{os}
+module \module{os}\refstmodindex{os} and use \code{os.path}.
+\index{path!operations}
\begin{funcdesc}{basename}{p}
Return the base name of pathname
\begin{funcdesc}{expanduser}{p}
Return the argument with an initial component of \samp{\~} or
\samp{\~\var{user}} replaced by that \var{user}'s home directory. An
-initial \samp{\~{}} is replaced by the environment variable \code{\${}HOME};
+initial \samp{\~{}} is replaced by the environment variable
+\code{\${}HOME}; % $ <-- bow to font-lock
an initial \samp{\~\var{user}} is looked up in the password directory through
the built-in module \module{pwd}\refbimodindex{pwd}. If the expansion
fails, or if the path does not begin with a tilde, the path is
